A vast cache of about 183 million email addresses and passwords has been added to the breach-monitoring site Have I Been Pwned (HIBP) in one of the largest credential leaks reported to date.

The data, believed to have been collected through infostealer malware rather than a direct breach of Gmail's servers, includes millions of Gmail accounts. Cybersecurity experts say the scale of the exposure presents a serious risk of account takeovers and identity theft.
